If you have more than a few microservices, their interdependencies get hard to reason about. I worked for a few years on a project to manage and control microservice dependencies and to make sure it would be possible to turn the company’s tech stack back on if we ever turned it off.
Silvia Esparrachiari, Ashleigh Rentz and I wrote an article about the work, published in ACMQueue and Communications of the ACM.
I also wrote a talk about it called “Have you tried turning it off and turning it on again?”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvk4RFGsrWo
